Scripting for noobs? Where do I start?

Getting Started
1

I have enjoyed going through the editor and can import models, setup the different material, paint the terrain and all… it’s fun. But where are the scripting tutorials for complete newbies to coding? (really, I am more used to GML in apps like GameMaker… never did anything really advanced).

The manual has scripting reference, which is useless for me (since I don’t know the basics). I am interested in learning UnityScript and would start with learning JavaScript if it helped but according to members here, it’s not the same thing.

So I am confused, where to start next?

Right now I have downloaded all Unite 2008 videos and going through them (even the advanced stuff). Are these tutorials the only and best way for a complete scripting noob to start learning scripting? (or do they assume you know scripting already?) :?:

PS: No, I am not working on a MMO. :lol:

Thanks.

I think you should read the scripting tutorial here. After that try the 2D and 3D platformer tutorials.

Hope it helps!

Thanks for the link (it wasn’t supplied in Unity manual?). Going to go through it, but if anyone has more links to resources for beginners, please do post.

Unity has been out for so long for Mac, aren’t there any user sites with tutorials? (I am surprised)

I have one beginner scripting video tutorial, regarding the creation of objects through scripting. You can find it at: Yilmaz Kiymaz – Indie Game Developer

Enjoy!
